Cuppa Love Tag Set - FabScraps

Hi! I'm sharing a tag set that I created for FabScraps using the C95 For the Love of Tea Collection today. I had a lot of fun with both color and texture for this tag duo. One of my favorite products by FabScraps is the amazing collection of coordinating chipboard that comes with each line. They really make designing fun as the options to personalize the raw chipboard are endless. I didn't use any fancy techniques to alter the chipboard for these tags, but rather focused on bold color.

To begin, I brushed a layer of gesso over two tags. Next, I placeed the Parasol stencil over the tags and spread molding paste over the top. While the paste was still wet, I sprayed the tags with pink, blue, and gray mist. Once the tags were dry, I glued torn pieces of Social Tea patterned paper blue lace side up to the tags and then added flower clusters cut from the Prepare for Tea patterned paper, flowers and leaves, stick pins, and cheesecloth onto the center of the tags.

I built a layered chipboard embellishment for the center of each tag with three pieces of chipboard; a tag that I covered with High Tea patterned paper, a chipboard Heart Teacup with Saucers, and a chipboard word (either Cuppa or Love, which is sold as one set). I colored the tea cups and words with pigment ink and then brushed the edges of the chipboard cups and words with brown dye ink. I add a mini clothespin to the top of each chipboard tag.

I colored the edges of each tag with pink watercolor paint and then dry brushed gesso over each tag for a shabby look. I finished each tag by using white twine to attach seam binding bows to the top for a pop of color.

Hi! Thanks for
joining me for day three of my recap of 2016! I've shared my top layouts and favorite cards and tags over the past two days. My longest design term has been for Tando Creative. I'm quickly approaching my 5th year as a designer on their team! I really love expressing myself by creating small chipboard pieces. This is the first time that I have dedicated a round-up to one manufacturer, but I crafted so many pieces that I still love, that today is dedicated to them. Follow the

Hi! I'm sharing the tag that I created for the Color Theme this week on the Tando Creative Design Blog. I first painted a Long Tag with a coat of DecoArt White Gesso. Once that was dry, I added red, pink, yellow, and orange dye ink to the tag and used a sponge to blend the color. To add some visual interest to the background I sprinkled the tag with water and set it aside to dry.

I colored two hearts with pink paint. I added gold glitter glaze to one heart and a glued a piece of netting over the second heart, and then glued both hearts to the tag. There's room for a lot of embellishments on this long tag!

I used the Stampendous Luv Heart stamp and black ink to decorate a piece of canvas ribbon. I added a metal charm to the ribbon and then brushed it with DecoArt White Gesso for a slightly distressed finish. I added a plastic bow and piece of ribbon to the top of the tag.

Hi! I'm sharing a love themed tutorial today that uses one of my favorite techniques; turning monoprints into resin paper and using those one-of-a-kind prints for jewelry and mixed media pieces. I wanted to create something special for my daughters for Valentine's Day, and they love jewelry. I've noticed that most of the offerings in their favorite stores are poorly made and a bit uninspired. I put my craft stash to good use with this project and I think I've come up with something a little more meaningful than a store-bought necklace that they will love to wear.
